Answer

The standard deviation of the distribution is a measure of the spread of the distribution, which in this case is \(\$5000\).

Steps

Step 1 :The normal distribution is defined by two parameters: the mean (\(\mu\)) and the standard deviation (\(\sigma\)).

Step 2 :The mean of the distribution is the average value, which in this case is \(\$50000\).

Step 3 :The standard deviation of the distribution is a measure of the spread of the distribution, which in this case is \(\$5000\).
